Yakima Electric Railway Museum

Yakima Electric Railway Museum is a railroad museum and heritage streetcar operator in Yakima, Washington, United States. It is located at the corner of South Third Avenue and Pine Street.
The museum is operated by Yakima Valley Trolleys, a non-profit organization. Vintage trolleys operate on a seasonal schedule on some of the original tracks of the Yakima Valley Transportation Company, which ceased passenger operations in 1985. The City of Yakima owns the trolleys and tracks, which were donated by the former operator.[1] The fleet consists of two identical cars built in 1928–1929 by Oporto's streetcar company on Brill designs — whimsically renumbered №1776 (former STCP 260) and №1976 (former STCP 254).[2][unreliable source?] as well as rolling stock from the Yakima Valley Transportation Company.[3][non-primary source needed]
Entrance to the museum is free, but there is a fare for the trolley ride.[citation needed] The system was placed on the Most Endangered Places list by the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation in 2025 due to plans by the city government to repave 6th Avenue, where the trolleys run.[1]
